#compdef tar gtar star

# Tar completion.  Features:
#  - Tries to collect tar commands from second position, single letter
#    option, and long options.
#  - `tar' can be called anything, will use the correct name
#  - Uses the function `_tar_archive' to complete archive files.
#  - Tries to find out if compressed archives should be used.
#  - Completes files inside archive.  This is supposed to look pretty
#    much as if the files are in an ordinary directory hierarchy.
#    Handles extraction from compressed archives (GNU tar).
#  - Anywhere -- appears, gets a list of long options to complete from
#    tar itself (GNU tar)
#  - Things like --directory=... are also completed correctly.

# First we collect in `_tar_cmd' single letter options describing what
# should be done with the archive and if it is compressed. This
# collected from options arguments that start with only one hyphen,
# from some of the possible long options, and from the second word if
# that does not start with a hyphen.
